Never had a single Sang to empty clubs and bars It seemed our music came from Venus While the crowd was all from Mars We've been doing, well...a comeback Though we never went away We've been here, though no one knew it You know this band is here to stay No one knows our music Now we have a different crowd They don't care what we play them As long as it is loud No faces look familiar Although the bars all look the same I guess we should be thankful If at the end they know our name We knock off songs they've never heard We play them just for us They ask for stuff we do no know And they rarely make a fuss It's not the same as it once was And neither then are we We're doing well, a comeback tour Though we've been here since sixty three Some kids think we're the shadows Hermans Hermits, or the Pips We don't care that much though If it gets us bigger tips We missed out on a contract When glam rock knocked us aside We wouldn't wear the makeup I would rather go and hide We still play clubs and empty bars Done it now for 50 years We make a bit more money We don't waste it all on beers We've never gone away though Even though folks always say We're glad you're back together We never ever went away We're a band that loves it's music Never made it big We're out doing a comeback Me, Ronnie, Bart and Stig

Out on a Comeback Tour
Never had a single Sang to empty clubs and bars It seemed our music came from Venus While the crowd was all from Mars We've been doing, well...a comeback Though we never went away We've been here, though no one knew it You know this band is here to stay No one knows our music Now we have a different crowd They don't care what we play them As long as it is loud No faces look familiar Although the bars all look the same I guess we should be thankful If at the end they know our name We knock off songs they've never heard We play them just for us They ask for stuff we do no know And they rarely make a fuss It's not the same as it once was And neither then are we We're doing well, a comeback tour Though we've been here since sixty three Some kids think we're the shadows Hermans Hermits, or the Pips We don't care that much though If it gets us bigger tips We missed out on a contract When glam rock knocked us aside We wouldn't wear the makeup I would rather go and hide We still play clubs and empty bars Done it now for 50 years We make a bit more money We don't waste it all on beers We've never gone away though Even though folks always say We're glad you're back together We never ever went away We're a band that loves it's music Never made it big We're out doing a comeback Me, Ronnie, Bart and Stig
